Message settings

BRIX has two options for configuring the Messages workspace:

  • Standard mode. All messages and notifications of app items, tasks, and files are collected in the common #Activity stream. They are displayed in chronological order, from newest to oldest.
  • Object-based activity stream. Messages are grouped into three tabs: chats, objects, and starred. It’s convenient if employees often have discussions in the activity streams of objects, for example, when working with requests or applications. This mode allows you to view all the correspondence and notifications for each object without switching to their pages.

The system administrator sets the #Activity stream display mode for all users of the company. However, each user can change this mode independently in the profile settings.

Change activity stream display mode

To enable the object-based activity stream for all employees by default:

  1. Enable the enableFeedByTargets feature flag. For more details, read the Modify BRIX Enterprise parameters and Modify BRIX Standard parameters articles. If you are using the SaaS edition, contact your BRIX sales rep to enable the flag.
  2. Go to Administration > Messages workspace.
